Suinhle trunnions 2&1v secured :tt the sides ol' the nperture 23 extend into the spool 22 to pivot the seine in snid aperture und to perlnit the required lnovenwnls to the lever 21. The end 25 ol the lever is red :red und slides .l'reel' in nu opening' through the spool 22. The lever 2.1 is provided uilh nn enlarged opening2o through whii'h lhednsher rod 11 extends, said lever being arranged nhove the twisting,r lmr 19.

The operation ol' iny invention nin-y he briefly deserihed :is l'ollows: To wind up the eord which rnises the lever the mlnuee wheel muy he turned slightly l v hund or the dzisher rod niny he turned to wind up the eord. The down urd stroke ol' the lever turns the rod in one direetion, und the hnlnnre wheel lieeps up the inotion in the suine direction until the eord is rewound, und the lever is lherelrv ruised rendy lor the next strolie .vhieh will reverse the motion ol' the rod und do so :it ezu'h stroke.

iy invention is olt simple etnistruetioi., lney he reo lil v npplied to nny rotzu'v dnsher rhurn, een he inonul'netured :1t slight vost und is ellieient und desirnole lor its purpose.
